The SIP research team is made up of faculty and graduate students based out of the (formally the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of British Columbia) – Vancouver. The Sustainable Heritage Network ( ) is a collaborative project that complements the work of Indigenous peoples globally to preserve, share, and manage cultural heritage and knowledge.Mukurtu CMS ( ) is the free, mobile, and open source access platform built with Indigenous communities to manage and share digital cultural heritage.The CDSC’s mission is to promote collaborations that use technology in ethically minded and socially empowering ways through meaningful partnerships with a commitment to foster long term relationships with Native American nations, First Nations, and Indigenous communities locally, regionally and nationally. The CDSC supports the Indigitization Program through two major long-term programs: Washington State University’s Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation (CDSC) brings together community members, students, faculty, and researchers in collaborative digital projects that emphasize ethical curation, scholarship, research, and publication. Core funding enables Indigitization’s community-university relationships to continue beyond the grant project timelines, leading to innovative growth within the program’s key goal of appropriate responsiveness to Indigenous community needs.Ĭenter for Digital Scholarship & Curation at Washington State University As the major financial enabler of the Indigitization Program, the program infrastructure, including partial salary for a Librarian, paid employment opportunities for UBC students, website development, and other operational costs, has also been consistently funded by the IKBLC since 2013. Partially modelled off of the IKBLC’s successful BC History Digitization Program, Indigitization supports Indigenous organization participants with matching grant funds for analog media digitization projects. As part of its mandate to support education and the sharing of knowledge in British Columbia (BC), the IKBLC is responsible for the digitization of many BC cultural heritage materials from their original print formats. Barber Learning Centre (IKBLC) serves as an education centre, library, and as a conduit of knowledge for British Columbia and beyond.
